Do all Scooby's sound different??

3 of us at work have Scoobs, we have:

a) MY95 saloon, 170,000 miles, magnex decat downpipe, magnex decat centre (unresonated) and magnex 6x4 oval backbox, dump valve, K+N induction

b) MY95 estate, 90,000 miles, standard downpipe, magnex decat centre (resonated) and magnex 6x4 oval backbox, dump valve, K+N induction

c) MY00 saloon, 90,000 miles, magnex decat downpipe, magnex decat centre (unresonated) and magnex 6x4 oval backbox, dump valve, K+N induction

When car C fires up it sounds awesome yet car A when fired up sounds a lot quieter!!!

Now as you can see the spec of all 3 cars is pretty similar

I would expect car a and c to sound louder than b because of the downpipes, however, b and c sound LOUD yet car a doesn't sound half as loud

Does anyone know why??

I'm gutted cause mine is car A...doah...and it doesn't sound half as good (even more gutted cause we just put the unresonated centre on today and it sounds exactly the same as the resonated one)

The only obvious thing that jumps out when looking at the car specs is the mileage, as you can see mine has done WAY to many miles

Any suggestions anyone??

Cheers

No replies....doah!!!!

 

Are the diameters of all the pipe work the same on all cars?

If one car has a 2.5" pipework then it wont be as loud as a car with 3" pipework.

Whose exhaust is newer?
In my experience (on other types of cars anyway) over time a system can change its sound. Presumably as the baffles become more knackered.
